		<description>Hey Dave, 

Always enjoy your commentary. There is something about Gov Huckabee that just doesn't ring true. Not sure what it is exactly, but I feel some discomfort with him. When a "man of God" starts to dance with the word of God and makes statements that try to distance himself from positions that must be taken, it shows me that he isn't as honest or forthcoming as we should expect. In our nation today, a true man of God running for office who wouldn't compromise the truth by telling the nation that unless it repented of it's individual and corporate sin and rebellion against God, be born again and walk with God in newness of life and cleanness, and put away their sinfullness, and that unless they did these things would be lost for eternity under chanis of darkness, would never, could never be elected President. The Liberals, secular humanists, most Democrats, the Vatican and the World council of church's would do everything in their power to destroy him as would the average voter who would be completely offended by these words. If Gov Huckabee thinks his presidency could steer America to the saviour and save it from the judgment to come, me thinks he is sadly mistaken. Not that God isn't able. But as Abraham said to the man in Hades, "If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead." (Luke 16:31)
Not sure if Gov Huckabee is a reconstrucitonist, which might reveal his reasons for running. The only one's I would even consider voting for today are Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo (neither of which have a chance) or Fred Thompson, who seem's to be waking up to the issues. Regards Lou</description>

		<description>Hi Dave- I had no idea you were in Japan- my husband was stationed there years ago when he was in the Navy CB's.  I hope you're having a good time too while you're there- but a safe trip!  I just read the Yahoo link.  I know it's silly to say, but when I hear the dems talk- my skin crawls!  I mean it.  When I hear the communist talk- like John Edwards saying that when he is prez- he will make patriotism more than about the war- that he'll ask us to sacrifice for our country.  My question is- just what does he want us to sacrifice?  More of our children to abortion's alter?  Will he bring back the draft or something?  Sacrifice more of our hard earned money to the federal government for them to dole out to some useless and broken welfare type deal?  And what about Sen. Clinton- I know she wasn't there- but in past talks, I have heard her say 1. That when she is prez, she will TAKE the billions of dollars in profits from the oil companies.  Now- correct me ifI'm  wrong- that would be stealing- and that the last time I checked- it is not up to me or anyone else, how much these company ceo's make.  I am not a rich person- in fact right now, we are barely scraping by- but this is NOT who I want running my  and my familie's lives!  I put my trust in Jesus Christ to get my family through these tight and downright hard times- NOT some commie presidential wannabe.  I'm sorry if I sound angry- I know I should practie the 2nd commandment more often too- I jsut get tired of all of this big government nonsence.  I had to cringe too at the news that when Hill gets to be prez- she will demand everyone go on her national health care- or she will garnish wages!  What nerve!  I HAVE NO healthcare either- but I sure as heck don't want hers!  I came from socialism- I don't want to go back to that!  I say get rid of slip and fall law suits- let the doctors practice their medicine, reduce litigation payments, so the doctors can have to pay less in malpractice insurance- and speaking of health insurance- get rid of it too- save billions on paper cuts and lunch breaks for the pencil pushers.  God Bless you Dave- I'm sorry.  Have a wonderful and safe trip brother of mine.  Carolyn : )</description>
